Sheefa Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 OK, here goes........... Our Supras have either a twin or single setup, but has anyone gone for anything more crazy, i.e. a tri-turbo? Is this even possible with the existing lump? Obviously under BPU you feel number 2 come on at full whack, but would be lovely to have another at say 7k rpm if you extended the rev range to 10k. Any ideas/thoughts/or total destruction of this thread welcome Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you ever looked carefully at how much pipework is involved with getting twins to work... then have a look how much you need to get 3 on there. Also 2 cylinders per tubby? starts running a little pulsey I reckon. In summary... BAD IDEA.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheefa Posted January 15, 2007 Author Share Posted January 15, 2007 Not a completely idiotic question then, but not a good idea! Thanks Phoenix. Yeah, I've seen the spaghetti junction and it's damn confusing so I tend to stay away from my engine bay. New 8cyl needed then for it to work 'smoothly'. Hmmm.

Conrad Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 Rubbish! My Wife (36yo) asked me what country dinosaurs live in about a year ago following the BBC program. :d I went to the shop the other day with my mate as we needed some ice for a party. My mate asked the guy in the shop where he kept his 'frozen ice'. :d The owner thought my mate was joking.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedM Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 You know what would be great? A supra with two or three single turbos in it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike B Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 Variable vane turbo - a big whacking massive one - no pipes - constant boost... but when will they become available as aftermarket? Honeywell have them on their development page, but you can't buy one. You'll have to crawl into the boot of the nearest new porker turbo with your spanner. edit; and my girlfriend asked what the "tractors slow!" signs were on the A19. She thought they were to tell tractors to slow down incase they missed the tractor show. I set her right by saying that there are a lot of underground farmers conducting tractor races on the A19 and the sign was for them. She belived me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
